letters home from summer camp (send cookies plz!)
Li,
I first would like to apologize for my leaving with little more notice than the note I left on my pillow. I am certain you understand the reasons behind the lack of detail. Things have reached a critical point and I must remain away until our security has been guaranteed.
Attached is a letter to our daughter. I trust you'll see that she receives it.
I miss you and I promise to return home as soon as the tasks at hand have been completed.
Take care, my love.
-D
My Daffodil,
First off, the news has reached me that you have been made a Slytherin Prefect. Congratulations. I have always known you'd do great things.
I imagine your mother has taken recent events rather harshly and I have no doubt that she has made... changes. I ask that in your last weeks at home before you leave for school that you'll keep an eye on her for me. I understand that you two rarely agree on anything, but your mother has never been strong at relying on herself; I'm thankful you've taken after me in almost every way.
I love you very much. Make me proud; I know you will. It's in your blood.
-your Father
P.S. Play nice with the ickle firsties. I can recall a letter written your first year asking to come home after being locked in a bathroom by a few sixth years.
